Description

Field Requiem by Sheri Benning is a powerful exploration of the devastating impact of industrialised farming on prairie Canada. Through her poems, Benning charts the collapse of a way of life and the world of the family farm, as well as her own suffering. The collection's poems weave together themes of loss, love, and the environment, tracing the contours of a shattered community. From the fever dream of 'Winter Sleep' to the long elegy 'Let Them Rest', Benning's incantatory voice rises from dreams into dark visions, mourning the ruins of farmsteads and communities. This collection also includes lyric poems that give voice to the affective consequences of loss brought on by climate change and factory farming, renewing a sense of locality in the face of corporate practices.
